Hi,
I'm using a Netgear MA401 card on FreeBSD 4.8 (dell inspiron 2650 laptop),
and for some reason I can't automatically connect to the wireless network
when I start up. However, 'killall dhclient; dhclient wi0' works
perfectly. Can anyone tell me what I can do to make this work the first
time around? Below is a simple log of what I do everytime I boot up-- it
looks like the card might be trying to get an INET6 address, but I don't
know what to do about that either.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
